Re: Sightseers
Saw this today and liked it: very quirky, black, British humour. The plan was to see Talaash, but after leaving the hopeful audience sitting in the auditorium for a good hour (in the case of those who entered promptly, and who probably arrived at the cinema itself even earlier), the manager announced that the Talaash HD had been corrupted because they had tried to move the film to a larger screen after the first day. I was very lucky that there was another film at the same cinema that I wished to see and that I still had time to do so before my matinee, as fortunately Sightseers is quite short. At least we all received TWO free, unlimited vouchers in addition to being able to see a different film.

Re: Sightseers
It was very boring and not funny at all. I think you should save your money and watch something else. The story was ok, but it was a little slow and badly put together and I really wished I had seen something like Argo which is better thriller. And not watch this movie as it is not a comedy and the murder are quite grim and there is no story line go round killing people.

I had never heard of this film before, searched and found this thread and have decided I am going to record it so I can take a look at it, purposely not looking at the trailer after reading the reviews.

Re: Sightseers
This was one of my favourite films from 2012, it was a bit unexpected, the writers did a great job of lifting a fairly mundane setting/set of characters and making something quite dark and entertaining. I thought both the leads were great.
Check out both 'Kill List' and 'A Field in England' also directed by Ben Wheatley.
8.5/10
